Finlay, who was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Doreen Shepherd, had over 100 credits to his name and last appeared in the U.K.’s television mini-series Four Seasons in 2009.

Notable roles include Casanova in the similarly titled 1971 mini-series and 1976’s Bouquet of Barbed Wire.
The actor was also once a member of Laurence Olivier’s National Theatre Company, where he first faced off against the iconic star in the stage production of Othello.

“RIP my Grandfather Frank Finlay CBE,” musician Josh Coombes, his grandson wrote on Twitter. “Funny, loving, amazing storyteller, inspiration & one of the best actors this country has ever seen.”

Other stars voiced their condolences online, including Harry Potter‘s David Bradley.

“Had the pleasure of working with and watching Frank Finlay in Olivier’s NT company 1973,” Bradley wrote. “Down to earth, funny, and always brilliant. RIP Frank.”
